)OK

Kept the same core, but the map changed....has worked out being harder to deploy than I had wished, but so far (turn 15 out of 30) I have probably destroyed upwards of 35 AFV's to the sole loss of one halftrack, 2 scout units and 5 scout cars (ran straight into their artillery base in rear lines)

I devided my force into 3 combat groups set about 10 hexes away from the central 3 clusters of VH's. I am deployed on my side of the VH's so none have been taken yet. Visability is 22 hexes and all my 88's are providing cover for all forward units. All dug in (supposed to be an advance...but it is the AI after all![;)] with interlocking fields of fire everywhere. It would appear that the Poles split into two main spearheads with A/C's up front followed by heavier armour. About 5 or 6 AFV's still visible but most of the main infantry advance seems to be wavering under intense 155mm rty that I pre zeroed on likely points of advance.

Should finish off tonight....let's just see what's in store, let's not forget that I only hold my own 4 VH's at the moment!

Cheers!

Well that's it

First successfull sortie in Poland over. The setting was Krakow, and I'm pleased to say, my plan worked a treat[:)]

A decisive victory for the loss of 2 halftracks, 4 scout groups, 8 Stoewers and 1 Pz38t.

In the end, I managed to get about 3 platoons of (mixed) P38t's and Pz1Vc's into their rear area. Their armour had been completely annihalated by now, and even though the Polish cavalry, Ulans and regular troops were very tenacious (they were attacking all the while I pushed them back, not just opfire) I effectively had them surrounded and some mighty good stats for some of my troops ensued. Hopefully this will mean I can now go on to win the war in the East, launch operation Sealion, get my secret weapons working and Nuke the Yanks while joining up with my Jap chums in the East....World Domination as it's supposed to be

...Ooops sorry guys...forgot that most of you are the enemy!

Cheers!

Well, you're off to a good start. Just another fifty Decisive Victories in the campaign to go! After my tenth battle, in desperation I upgraded my artillery transport to Wurfrahmen and I still have 2900 points left over. I hope you don't run out of things to upgrade. Auf Wieder Bye Bye, Herr Oberst.
